Fresh Attack leaves one dead in Plateau community
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

One person has been reported dead while the other narrowly escaped as two people were ambushed by suspected herdsmen in Wereng village of Riyom Local Government Area in Central Nigeria’s Plateau State on Sunday 28th March.

A local non-governmental organization, Emancipation Centre for Crisis Victims in Nigeria (ECCVN) says the natives of Byei village in Riyom LGA were ambushed at about 7:00 pm near a military base along Wereng-Byei village road.

One of them, Mr. Stephen Joshua was hacked to death while the other, Mr. Yohanna Dauda narrowly escaped.

“The villagers were returning from Wereng Camp when the militias emerged from the nearby bush and attacked them,” says Mr. Dalyop Solomon, the Chief Executive Officer of ECCVN.

Dozens of villagers have been killed in isolated attacks in Riyom LGA since December last year.

Many of the victims were sacked from their ancestral lands in series of attacks last three years.

The killings resuming as the villagers are trying to return from internally displaced person’s camps are likely aimed at expelling them again.

Reports say over 50 villages belonging to minority Plateau tribes have been allegedly taken over by herdsmen after similar attacks spanning over a decade.
